The US Open this year promises to be far more memorable and will undoubtedly go down in tennis history. But as the event draws near, the question is: What will make this year’s US Open unique for tennis fans? For the first time ever, Times Square, a prominent commercial intersection and well-known location in New York City, will provide something unique for all tennis enthusiasts.

While there will be many fun events and exhibition matches leading up to the US Open, like the one between 19-year-old Carlos Alcaraz and popular Colombian singer Sebastian Yatra, the activities that will take place in Times Square can practically outweigh other entertainment events.

Times Square to celebrate US Open 

Times Square is ready to get a tennis court on the streets, where tennis fans can easily play tennis as a part of an event that will be hosted there. According to Timeout, on August 24, a pop-up outdoor tennis court will be organized at Times Square in celebration of the US Open, which will be played just a train ride away at Queens.

Well, on the popup court, tennis players from all levels are invited to play a free game of tennis in between all the hustle and bustle of life around Times Square. The event will literally require nothing; everything will be present on the spot, starting with tennis bags, including rackets and balls, and also the hydrating beverages.
